A guy I know had a twin turbo Evo. It was fast. One night, just after the roads had thawed, he got in a race. There was a little bit of black ice on the road and he hit it in the race, going about 120mph. He lost it and hit a bridge. In the contest between bridge and Evo, the bridge won.

My friend was in a race in his old Camaro. He had that thing souped up like no other. He came over a shallow hill at about 140 or so - and a cop was sitting in the driveway that he couldn't see. He lost his license over it.
